    Yes, we did that for about five weeks. They’ve been side-by-side with the fence in the middle.

    Introducing the baby chickens to the big flock

    We introduced the new chicks (Aussie loops) at 20 weeks to the flock like we always do, put them in there in the middle of the night in the henhouse. This always worked in the past for us… but this time it did not work! They ran out at dusk, and have not been backin! They’re sleeping by the...

    Ducks won't eat oyster shells and the eggs are getting thin

    My ducks shells were getting soft too. I put out oyster shells in a pan also mixed with their food. I also give them 1/2 cup of mealworms and dry puppy food. We throw in the pond. Which they love! Both are high in protein and calcium. It seems like the shells are getting better.

    Guinea fowl be raise with chickens?

    We have 9 18 week old guineas that live next door to our 30 chickens and 2 Rosters. A guinea keeps flying over to the chicken side. It is getting crazy to keep having to catch her and put her back. We are thinking of just taking the fence between all of them? Any advise?

    We have 20 chickens 4 ducks all in an 1/4 acre enclosed area with an electic fence. We do have trouble with foxes around at night. From what I have read Guineas like to be able to fly around a lot. So I would like to hear, if other folks free range their guineas during the day and put them in a...

    Too many Drakes?

    No no no! We put a fence around the pond and raked it to make sure there are no turtles in there. They are safe there just not with the others.

    Too many Drakes?

    We have 4 female and 3 male Khaki Campbell’s. 2 males have started fighting, we have moved them to a smaller pond on our farm. Will they be ok there or should we try and relocate them to a near by lake with wild ducks?

    What do your ducks eat? Do you add niacin to their diet?

    We have added 7 baby Khaki Campbell girl ducklings to our farm. They are a happy bunch swimming in the pond all times of the day and night! They have a separated fenced in area from the chickens with a pond and grassy area to themselves. They are 10 weeks old now we have been feeding them non...
